This is great news, and fans who have been waiting to get into the game now have a great opportunity to do so. Will you be checking this out?

It opened with the employee’s kids talking about their parents job making games. This was a cute video.

We had a an introduction to Bethesdaland and the mostly prerecorded footage. This was the theme of the event and it really created a good mood.

Bethesda started about games proper with their Virtual Reality projects with Doom VFR announced and Fallout 4 VR announced

Next, they discussed Elder Scrolls online. The game has 10 million players, and they talked about the Morrowind expansion. They showed a video montage of players with the game before showing upcoming content with “Horns of the Reach” and “Clockwork City”.

They then went on to discuss how modding has been big for their games. There have been 300 million mod downloads and now they are shaking up mods with the announcement of Creation Club.A new way to get mods which won’t interfere with achievements and are higher quality. This is coming summer 2017, but may involve paid mods

Speaking of Elder Scrolls, the next subject was Elder Scrolls Legends. Content like the Dark Brotherhood story and more was discussed with the main focus being the reveal of the Skyrim expansion. Titled “Heroes of Skyrim” it releases 6/29/17.

And on the subject of Skyrim, we finally got a true look at the Switch version. It looks like a well-made version and has something surprising. Amiibo support. This includes all the Zelda amiibo ever released and the Smash Bros amiibo. There are also motion controls but no word on HD rumble.

From there, we moved to a new Dishonored II expansion being shown. In this, Daud is back with Billie Lurk in Dishonored Death of the Outsider.

Next Bethesda announced the Quake world championships and revealed BJ Blazkowicz for Quake champions.

Last up were two new reveals, with The Evil within 2 announced for Friday, October 13 release.

CNN recently ran a story on hacking when it comes to the Russians and the US election, but what is interesting is the image they used. CNN used a screenshot from a hacking scene in Fallout 4, when they did their story. This is not unusual for media companies to do, and in the past media outlets frequently used The matrix as an example of hacking. This is because real life hacking can be too difficult for the average news watcher to understand, but hacking as seen in these movies and video games is a lot easier.

That being said, I doubt Bethesda will be happy, but considering how prevalent hacking is becoming, we might see this a lot more in the future. I wouldn’t be surprised if games like Deus Ex are also used in the future.

Fallout 4 and Skyrim Special Edition will be getting 4K Support on PS4 Pro and Partial Mod support. You will not be able to use external assets, which does limit what can be done significantly. There is still a lot that can be done however, and this is far better than having no mods at all. Perhaps in the future, full mod support will be enabled.

We’re excited to announce that mod support is coming to PlayStation 4 for both Skyrim Special Edition and Fallout 4. Additionally, we’ll also be supporting the new PlayStation 4 Pro with both titles.

Skyrim will have these features when it launches on October 28. The new power of the PlayStation 4 Pro has allowed us to make Skyrim render in native 4k, and it looks better than ever. Here are some screens to show you just how great it looks.

Mod support will come to Skyrim first. We and Sony have worked hard to make this possible. Mods on PlayStation 4 will allow you to modify and create your own content by using our Creation Kit available here. You will not be able to upload external assets with your PlayStation 4 mods, but you will be able to use any assets that come with the game, as most mods do. By creating a Bethesda.net account, you’ll be able to browse and try mods right from within the game. We are excited finally to get modding to our PlayStation fans who have supported us for so long. Modding has been an important part of our games for over 10 years, and we hope to do even more in the coming year for all our players, regardless of platform.

After the work is complete on Skyrim, we’ll be updating Fallout 4 for both mods and PS4 Pro. We expect Fallout 4 to take advantage of the PS4 Pro in 4k along with enhanced lighting and graphics features.

Bethesda has revealed that the reason there will not be Fallout 4 or Skyrim mods on PlayStation 4 is because Sony will not allow them.

After months of discussion with Sony, we regret to say that while we have long been ready to offer mod support on PlayStation 4, Sony has informed us they will not approve user mods the way they should work: where users can do anything they want for either Fallout 4 or Skyrim Special Edition.

Like you, we are disappointed by Sony’s decision given the considerable time and effort we have put into this project, and the amount of time our fans have waited for mod support to arrive. We consider this an important initiative and we hope to find other ways user mods can be available for our PlayStation audience. However, until Sony will allow us to offer proper mod support for PS4, that content for Fallout 4 and Skyrim on PlayStation 4 will not be available.

Mods and the players who create them have always been an important part of our games, going all the way back to Morrowind and The Elder Scrolls Construction Set. We believe that our games become something much more special, when we put the power of creation in your hands. New quests, environments, characters, dialogue, outfits, weapons and more – with Mods, the possibilities of what you can do are endless. You are creating new experiences that enhance and take our games into amazing and surprising new directions.

For Fallout 4, our goal was to make Mods easier and more accessible than ever before – for both the creators and the players. By building an all-new system with Bethesda.net we’ve made a huge leap forward in achieving that.

You can now browse and search for the latest and greatest Mods, choose your favorites, post feedback, and install them – all within the game. Simply select Mods from the main menu, and start browsing.

If you want to try making Mods (and we think everybody should), the Creation Kit – the same tool that we used to create Fallout 4 – is a free download via the Bethesda.net launcher. You can check out the Creation Kit Wiki, our online documentation and help file, for more details and tips on how to make them.

We plan to update and evolve Mods and the Creation Kit based on your experiences so be sure to leave feedback in our forums.

For console players, Mods will be coming to Xbox One in May and PlayStation 4 in June. We have a lot to do yet, but we hope it changes console gaming the way it has changed PC.

Finally, we’d like to thank all the Modders who volunteered to beta test the Creation Kit and Mods during our closed beta. Your feedback has been invaluable and we couldn’t have done it without you. For them and for all our players, we can’t wait to see what you create.

Fallout 4 was an amazing game that deserved its accolades. I personally cannot wait to see what he modding community can do with this game. Kudos to Bethesda for bringing the mods to consoles, even though that will be a lot of work.

Fallout Shelter’s Update 1.5 is here to make your life as an Overseer easier!

With Update 1.5, you can now scrap your unwanted items and turn them into Junk to build even more gear. This is your chance to clear out the clutter in your Storage rooms and craft some cool new stuff.

We’ve also added new customization options to the Barbershop and new civilian outfits to craft or find in lunchboxes. You’ll hardly even recognize your Dwellers when you’re done with them. You can even make them look like Ghouls!

Overseers using an iPhone 6s or 6s Plus can now take advantage of Fallout Shelter’s new 3D Touch support. With 3D Touch you can load directly into your vaults, skipping the main menu. You can also use 3D Touch to assign Dwellers to rooms and access storage just by tapping on any Storage Room.

Since its launch, Fallout Shelter has added a ton of new features – including new rooms, characters from Fallout 4, pets, new outfits, and weapons. In the last update (Update 1.4), crafting was added to the world of Fallout Shelter giving you the ability to make weapons, armor, and outfits. We also introduced the ability to collect Junk by sending your Dwellers into the Wasteland and from Lunchboxes because the better the Junk, the better items you can craft! There’s even more on the way, so stay tuned for upcoming updates.

Fallout Shelter was an instant smash hit when it launched on iOS on June 14, 2015, climbing to the top of the charts and beating Candy Crush to become the third-highest-grossing game on the App Store in its first week. Since launching on iOS and Android devices, Fallout Shelter has received top honors from some of the industry’s leading outlets, including winner of ‘App Store Best of 2015’, ‘Google Play Best of 2015’, and ‘Best Handheld/Mobile Game’ at the 2015 Golden Joystick Awards. Most recently, Fallout Shelter was named ‘Mobile Game of the Year’ at the 2016 D.I.C.E. Awards.

Fallout 4 stole the show at Bethesda’s E3 conference by demonstrating amazing open-world gameplay with a classic-style Fallout feel and a crazy amount of weapon customizations.

Todd Howard, Game Director at Bethesda Game Studios, exclaimed that, “In the world of entertainment, there are a very few things as good as Fallout.” And perhaps, he is right.

He noted that Bethesda has started working on the game for many years when the team started designing for Fallout 4 right after the third installment came out in 2009. The team at Bethesda has been working on it vigorously for the last four years.

“It all starts with an obsession for detail,” Howard noted. He was indeed right because the preview that was given for Fallout 4 was indeed full of specific details.

First of all, there is a new concentration on the world that existed before Fallout. This included a very retro 1950s-feel. Though this is pushed throughout the previous Fallout games, it is interesting to see how things were before the bombs.

Howard also showed a new way to create a character. Think “Sims 4” because it is all about drag and sculpt. Gone are the tedious sliders. Instead, a player just needs to click and sculpt each part. Players can play as either male or female, and the character’s baby will actually generate based off of how the parents look. One also has a large choice of baby names as well for the child because Bethesda recorded thousands of the most popular names with the voice actors.

The basic plot of the game is that the character goes into Vault 111 right before the bombs and awakens as the sole survivor of the vault 200 years later. The setting is confirmed for the Boston area.

The focus of the game is still “go anywhere, do anything” player freedom with the most ambitious map done by Bethesda to date. Players can play either in first person or 3rd person. They even get a German Shepherd that can be commanded to do things by pointing and telling. The V.A.T.S. system is back as well, and so is the Pip Boy, which has gotten a bit of an overhaul. There’s even mini games in the Pip Boy to play.

Die-hard Fallout fans will be delighted to know that they can get their own Pip Boy that works with a smart phone with the Fallout 4 Pip Boy Edition. There will be an app that can be downloaded which will make the device look like a real Pip Boy screen.

“As far as stupid gimmicks goes, this is the best f***ing one that I have ever seen,” Howard quipped about the real-life Pip Boy.

The Pip Boy Edition will retail at $119.99 and the Pip Boy app will be for iOS and Android.

Fallout 4 will also feature a completely optional the Sims-style building tool that will allow players to build houses and settlements. Players will be able to scrap items in the world to build whatever they want in real time. The emphasis is on making the game into a complete experience and doing what a player wants to do. Players will be able to build generators for power and defense items such as turrets to protect against raiders. Brahmin cattle can even be run between settlements.

The game’s crafting system carries over to other parts of the game with an extensive weapon-building system. Thousands of items can be modified. There are fifty base weapons and seven hundred modifications that can be made to them. Armor can also be modified.

Fallout 4 comes out November 11, 2015 and will be available for PC, XBox One, and PlayStation 4.

After the Fallout 4 trailer came out today, there has been an enormous amount of excitement about the game. During careful review of the newly released trailer of the game, it does indeed appear that the game will be set in Boston, Massachusetts.

According to historical fiction author, Sophie Turner, the image of the ship with rocket boosters on it does appear to be the USS Constitution, which typically has docked in Boston in the past. Also, an image of the Bunker Hill monument, the Paul Revere statue, and the Old North Church are visible as well.

This monument of Paul Revere has a Steam Punk-type dirigible in the background.
